Maaan. Today i rode the first time the new YT Capra 29. Pinkbike said it feels harsh. To me it feld so plush man. The best bike i ever ridden.

Great review! Some fancy words in there but I think I’m sold on my new bike. Thanks guys!

Been looking at this bike (CF 8) to pair with XC-ish trail bike. Looks like a bike to have fun with. At 6ft, sizing between M and L is causing slight struggle.

The only problem whith Canyon is that they have not had many bikes in stock for sale...

[headhuntersixx]

You say it’s a heavy bike, yet the Strive CFR is a little heavier, and considered the more pedal friendly option, or would you say these two bikes pedal very similarly?

[stianjarnass]

I'm so disappointed they didn't make all wheel sizes available for everyone. I use small frame but can't get the mullet or 29.

Did you know you can change the travel from 175 to 181 or 187.5 by removing bottom out spacers on the shocks without it changing the way the bike handles if you run the same air pressure or coil rate

[troymortimer]

By the sounds of this, this could be a good bike over a pure DH rig if you spend more time shuttling on tech chunky terrain, however still want a bike that you can pedal ?

I am looking at the Torque al 7 im 175 cm but idk what size is better for me. Actually im coming form a rockrider st530 XL💀 so id like a quite big bike because i don’t have to do air tricks
pls help

[kazenokami]

sadly the al version is sould out til september ._.

[peteshellshear]

Can you elaborate on the shock topping out?

[dominicbegley]

Is it easy to change the coil? I read somewhere that you need a bearing extraction tool or something? Seems odd? Thanks.

[merijn]

what about the builds with air shocks, would those be better suited for a do it all / enduro race rig?

[mcdonaldslover]

yeh but will it still fall apart after 6 months?

[goldensewip]

i the pov i was i recognize that jump in the start ends up its my local trails lol

[mznek]

Great video! I'm not sure about the sizing tho, I'm 182 cm tall or just below 6ft. I can't decide between M or L. Anyone have the same experience?

[levinsonl]

Why do you guys feel like its so comfortable at high speeds with short chainstays? I thought longer stays were the "key" to feeling good at speed. Sounds like this bike breaks the rules

[oldskoolpunk]

What about just putting a bigger size tire up front? Lol

Olá, ver seu trabalho me fez sentir profundamente, por isso tenho alguns pensamentos diferentes que gostaria de compartilhar com você, por favor, responda.

My torque mullet didn’t come with the two extra coils, breaks had air in them, shifting wasn’t even close, the seat is horrible and canyon has hasn’t done anything
